This subject of an Alphonse Legros portrait created drawings that include Octopus with the Initials and Ermitage Rock in an Imaginary Landscape. He was depicted "giving the lyre to Paris" in a work of Puvis de Chavannes, and this man was so pleased with the superiority of a depiction created by David d'Angers that he refused to sit for another sculptor. Drafts for a monument by the latter sculptor show him surrounded by three Muses representing his works "Les Orientales," "Meditation," and "Les Chatiments," while he himself is shown sitting on the rocks of the isle of Guernsey. The final sculpted version, however, had no muses, and was created by (*) Rodin, who also sculpted works depicting the "Apotheosis" of this man and a "Heroic Bust" of him. For 10 points, name this French poet.
